Morning Light
Apollo Records proudly present the vinyl reissue of Morning Light, the acclaimed 1997 album from Mark Van Hoenâs Locust project; a work that blurred the boundaries between ambient electronics, trip-hop, and dream-pop with an emotional precision few have matched since.
Originally issued during the labelâs pioneering late-â90s era, Morning Light marked a bold evolution for Van Hoen, best known at the time for his dark, abstract ambient work under Locust and as a member of Seefeel. Seeking to create something more human and melodic, Van Hoen assembled a rotating cast of collaborators, including Zoe Niblett, Craig Bethell, Neil Halstead (Slowdive/Mojave 3), and Wendy Roberts, blending fractured dance rhythms, live instrumentation, and intimate vocal performances into something both deeply personal and eïŹortlessly cinematic.
From the haunting reimagining of The Carpentersâ âNo-One In The Worldâ to the slow blooming emotional arcs of âAll Your Own Way,â âFolieâ, and âThe Girl With The Fairytale Dreamâ, the albumâs 13 tracks form a widescreen narrative of melancholy and beauty. Reviewers at the time hailed it as âa subtle delightâ and âsheer God-given geniusâ, comparing its mood and texture to Massive Attack, This Mortal Coil, and Portishead, yet noting its entirely singular voice.
This reissue restores Morning Light to vinyl for the first time in over two decades. A crucial artefact from the fertile intersection of experimental electronica and ethereal pop, Morning Light stands today as one of the labelâs most quietly influential releases.
